"Blood will tell" 



in seeds 



as «;e£Z as m animals 



IT is not enough to hnow that seeds g£row, for weed seeds -will grow! 

 ■*• The vital point is, "What will they produce? This is a matter that is 

 too seldom taken into consideration by the average bu3'er, many of whom are more 

 interested in hunting- for the lowest in price, while progressive farmers and gardeners 

 appreciate that "blood will tell" in seeds as well as in animals, and realizing that 

 :heir profits for a whole year depend upon the seeds they plant, they avoid "cheap" seeds as being poor econom3', knowing 

 :hat superior seeds produce superior and more profitable crops. 



While we do not wish to appear egotistical, yet in justice to ourselves and our seeds, and for the benefit of people who 

 lave never dealt with us, we claim to be the producers and distributers of the best seeds in the -world — it is our business 

 ind our profession. We know that planters of seeds buy them entirely on confidence; we realize that to lose a man's con- 

 fidence is to lose his patronage. If you have never used our seeds, try them this year, and we will try and retain your 

 ;onfidence, as we have succeeded in doing with annually-increasing thousands for over half a century. 



Henderson's Superior 



Farm Seeds 



ire Grown from Pedigree Strains 



HENDERSON'S Superior Grass, Clover, Cereal and other Farm Seeds 

 (which we supply only direct to the planter) are not only of the best pedigree 

 strains, but are of high germination and of choicest, recleaned quality. Our ware- 

 houses (250,000 bushels capacity), being especially equipped with the most modern seed- 

 cleaning machinery, enable us to supply direct to the farmer Recleaned Grass and 

 Other seeds of undoubted superiority at lowest possible prices when quality is consid- 

 ;ed. We are to-day the largest direct suppliers of recleaned grass seeds to the farmer in America, and, if at times lower 

 -ices are quoted, depend upon it that it is at the sacrifice of quality, for we are so equipped that no responsible mer- 

 hant can undersell us for the same qualities. We would warn our customers that the markets are at the present 

 me flooded with much inferior, and, in many cases, absolutely worthless, grass and clover seeds, much of which has been 

 irposely adulterated and is sold to the unsuspecting farmer by country merchants who do not have the expert knowledge 

 detect the adulteration, and upon whom it has been foisted by unscrupulous dealers. 



FARM MANAGERS. 



We have from time to time applications by competent men for positions as 

 farm and estate managers, men who have been trained to the business, and are 

 well posted on agriculture generally, and the raising and care of all kinds of farm 

 stock. We will be very pleased to enter into correspondence with those who re- 

 quire the services of such. We make no charge to either employer or employee.
